I spoke to @owenjones.bsky.social about the accountability hole at the heart of the BBC’s Gaza coverage. We go into everything from language shielding Israel, to my fundraising for the education charity Gaza Great Minds as a Miss Universe GB finalist. Have a listen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5Hp...

Conservatives are really struggling with the Sam Seder Jubilee video. They got a glimpse of how deranged they all sound and it seems to be causing a lot of psychic anguish. If only the Democrats had found a punchy way to call Republicans "weird" and ran on that last year. May have moved the needle.

It's a cliché, but isn't it funny how "making tough decisions" in government always involves hurting people who are in no state to fight back, rather than those who would feel no pain through being taxed?

This is from 2015 so she told us who she was ten years ago. This is not about appealing to Reform voters, this is who they are: ableist, eugenicist, odious, disgusting neoliberal ghouls.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

Peter Walker graciously filing whatever borderline ‘useless eater’ shit gets sent to him by government sources. A real journalist would name them - that is the actual story - but Walker always happy to inch along the road to fascism to own the left

It is important to note that absolutely nobody has phoned up the Guardian and said "we need you to manufacture consent for us to target disabled children with our cuts." This is just what they instinctively knew they had to do, as outriders for a government intent on targeting disabled children.

This is what English journalists spend their time doing right now — the far right is in its ascendancy and these bleary-eyed white trash lunatics are singularly concerned with beating up on disabled children.

I pitched Hind Rajab’s story to the BBC while she was still alive. I will never stop fighting for the newsroom conditions in which her story would have been told long before she was killed by Israel. We’d have seen immediate wall to wall coverage of a 5-year-old white girl.

ON FALLING is a magnificent, timely film about the asset stripping of our souls that not only enriches its audience but also steels our resolve to rise up and to understand that we have nothing to lose but our mind chains. www.theguardian.com/film/2024/se...

Middle class professions have been slowly but steadily getting dragged back into the ranks of the stepped-upon, and people who would always have assumed upward mobility are now being eaten alive. This is only going to accelerate now, and I’d like to think this would focus minds.

Judith Butler: "Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?"

This is the most dangerous, irresponsible framing imaginable. Not to mention it is bollocks. The big big winners from positioning Ukrainian security against poor British people & our public services are the far right. TAX THE RICH TO PAY FOR DEFENSE. PROTECT OUR WELFARE STATE.

In 2024, the UK’s billionaires increased their collective wealth by £35 million every day. Corporate profits are soaring. Instead of trying to balance the books on the backs of the poorest both in the UK and abroad by cutting welfare and aid, it's time this government started taxing wealth fairly.

Private Eye is a cesspit and more people need to be calling Ian Hislop to account for the increasingly far-right direction it has taken in recent years- not to mention him being just about the last editor in the UK still willing to employ Nick Cohen.

“The most revolutionary thing one can do is always to proclaim loudly what is happening.” That’s the #19C thinker Rosa Luxemburg, whose birthday is March 5. A bold anti-nationalist, anti-capitalist & anti-fascist avant la lettre. Her work is worth revisiting – always. #philsky #books
